Testimonials


“Lillian has been helping me with my project for months now, having broken the chapters down into smaller chunks to make it much easier on both of us. Her edits are phenomenal and her developmental edits, guiding the story to be more detailed, more emotional, without her WRITING them, but guiding what information should be shared and expanded has not only helped me make this book better than it was (in my humble opinion), but also has made the entire process - writing, re-writes, edits, etc in just this part of the project enjoyable, a learning experience and has definitely helped me improve my writing in general. I can't believe we're on the last set of edits before a full edit of the entire manuscript (which, of course, I'm going to have Lillian help me with again, because she's so awesome and fun). It's been an amazing and fun process and Lillian's communication is top notch. She always replies, generally within a couple of hours, and is receptive to questions when she's made a comment on an edit and I either need clarification, or if I want to bounce an idea for the expansion she suggested off of her. I never once questioned my decision to hire her to help with the edits, and I am more than satisfied as a customer. Thank you again, Lillian!!” —@jormantha on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

“Working with Lillian has been a rewarding experience. I’ve learned so much, felt that my characters and storyline were understood and appreciated, and my work was elevated. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!” —@kristen_zuri on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

“I can only echo others in praising Lillian for professionalism, thoroughness, and insight. I threw Lillian a knotty set of structural challenges and got challenged right back to face down tough choices and strive for a better book. These are great and rare qualities in an editor. I'm very pleased.” —@r8nger on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

“Lillian revised the translation of my novel, originally written in Italian. We productively discusses which terms should remain in Italian language for optimal reader experience and comprehension. Will work with her for my next translated novels. Well done.” —@flscala on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review

“I had reservations entrusting my work for such heavy revision to someone, because I was certain it would so quickly lose my voice in an effort to be correct and marketable. *this* is impressive. The readability is enhanced while so beautifully preserving the tone and emotion that I agonized over for a year.” —@rsheldon94 on Fiverr, alongside 5-star review
